I didnt detect any distinct aroma of a typical IPA. The grapefruit, pine , resin aroma just was not there.My first taste and immediately I thought of a cream ale. Smooth, soft and creamy. Much like a French Cremant sparkling wine.The taste was enjoyable and it had a distinct taste of fresh cut grass.The aftertaste was a bit disappointing, very short finish. But it did have that nice dry finish which I love in IPAs
